Steve Kerr recently chimed in on some Warriors’ player development details (See transcript below) and, in particular, said this of Jonathan Kuminga:…Footwork, to be really blunt – JK's next step is to really refine his footwork. He's powerful, he's athletic, he's explosive. He's come so far. But he gets in a rush down on the block sometimes. And just like all young players it's … [Read more...] about Kerr on Kuminga working on his footwork on post-ups
Funny, Kerr JUST talked about “rotating and flying out to shooters”

“Keep them to one shot” in half-court defense — Steph Curry (& Kerr)
Really behind here with the Super Bowl weekend (😢), but some good quotes on the Warriors’ recent run up to the Number One halfcourt defense in the NBA in the last ten games (maybe eleven, as some of the quotes are from the Indiana postgame and then stretched into the pregame of Phoenix — full transcripts at the bottom):Over the last 10 games we're number one in the league in … [Read more...] about “Keep them to one shot” in half-court defense — Steph Curry (& Kerr)
